【導語】本文是一篇應用文。在接近或離開校車時，孩子們面臨的風險很大。對于所有司機來說，了解校

車安全是很重要的。本文主要介紹了美國的司機需要了解的校車安全信息。

21.細節理解題。根據StopforSchoolBuses中的“Whenyouseeaschoolbusslowingdownorstopping,

ifsnotjustthebusthatyouneedtohaveyoureyeson-butthesurroundingarea,too.Childrenwaitatleastseveral

feetawayfromabusandoftencrossthestreetwhenthey'reboardingorgettingoffthebus.（當你看至U一輛校車減

速或停下來時，你需要關注的不僅僅是這輛校車，還有周圍的區域。孩子們在離公共汽車至少幾英尺遠的

地方等待，上下車時經常穿過街道。廠可知，校車停下來時，你要特別注意上下校車的孩子。故選C。

22.細節理解題。根據最后——段"Youmuststopyourcarandwaituntiltheredlightsstopflashing,theextended

stop-armiswithdrawn,andthebusbeginsmoving,beforeyoucanstartdrivingagain.（你必須停車，等至U紅燈停止

閃爍，延長的停止臂收回，公共汽車開始行駛，然后你才能再次開車。）”可知，校車啟動后，其他車輛才能

超越校車。故選A。

23.推理判斷題。根據倒數第二段“Youshouldslowdownandpreparetostopyourvehicle.（你應該減速并準備

停車。）”及侄ij數第——段“Youmuststopyourcarandwaituntiltheredlightsstopflashing,theextendedstop-armis

withdrawn,andthebusbeginsmoving,beforeyoucanstartdrivingagain.（你必須停車，等到紅燈停止閃爍，延

長的停止臂收回，公共汽車開始行駛，然后你才能再次開車。）”可推斷，本文的目標讀者是司機。故選B。

【答案】28.C29.B30.A31.B

【導語】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了關于食物浪費的調查結果和相關建議，向讀者解釋了食物浪

費的現狀、原因以及應對方法。

28.細節理解題。根據文章第二段中"Onetenthofrespondentsclaimtheyttnever^^purchasefoodtheydon'tendup

eating,whilethreein10saythisissomethingthey"always"do.（十分之一的受訪者表示，他們“從不”購買最終

不吃的食物，而十分之三的人表示，他們“總是"這樣做）“可知，有十分之三的人表示他們買了食物卻不吃。

故選C。

29.細節理解題。根據文章第四段中“Sevenin10addthatwhentheygotothestoreonanemptystomach,they're

more1汰elytobuyfoodstheywon'teat.Sotheydon'tdothatthatway.（十分之七的人補充說，當他們空腹去商

店時，他們更有可能買到他們不會吃的食物。所以他們不會那樣做）”可知，十分之七的人因為在饑餓時容易

買自己不會吃的食物，而有意避免這樣做。故選B。

30.詞義猜測題。根據劃線詞組的前文“prioritizingeatingourfoods（優先吃我們的食物）“和后文"likefruits,

vegetables,anddairyproducts（比如水果、蔬菜和乳制品）“可推測，因為這些食物都容易變質，所以要先吃掉。

選項A"Gobadeasily（容易變質）“；選項B"Arerichinnutrition（營養豐富）“；選項C"Areeasytoproduce（容

t6

易生產）”；選項DKeepfreshforalongtime（長時間保鮮）"。故選Ao

31.推理判斷題。根據文章最后一段“"Whenitcomestofoodwaste,nobodyisperfect,Abrialsadds.t4Butin

美的，"Abrials補充道。"但為了考慮我們對環境的影響，更不用說浪費的錢，我們認為有必要考慮我們購

買的每樣東西——無論是食物、床墊還是其他商品。可推知，Abrials認為珍惜食物就是珍惜環境。故選
